Well, I'd suggest then the Comfort Inn in Palatine, which is closer to my house, right off 53. The rates appear to be the same.
If there are enough people (I'd say at least 5) I can call them and try to see if I can negotiate a discounted rate. Their "best available" online rate seems to be 80/night.
Usually you get $10 off "best available" price for AAA membership.
I don't have anything against LaQuinta, I try to stay at Comfort inn or Suites or some other Choice Hotel brand 'cause I get points for free nights. But since I've already used my banked points, I'm trying to get more.
We'll see who else posts up interest.
